Welcome!
Hello, Brimonsalve, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Oncor Electric Delivery, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Oncor Electric Delivery. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Do not link external websites in the main article text. Use them for proper references instead. NJD-DE (talk) 21:13, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Please help me with... Hello,

I do not understand why my edits to the Oncor Electric Delivery page were flagged and said to not be correct. In the Environmental Impact section one of the links that was said was inappropriate links to a news site. The other critique was that the paragraph about electric fleet analytics tools was self-promoting and advertising when the paragraph was clearly written to replicate exactly as the T&D article reported with just a statement of facts and the intention of the new tool.

 * Hello, flagging the section does not mean that your edits are seen as incorrect. However as per Wikipedia guideline, external links to news pages or company websites should usually not be included in the article body. Only few relevant external links (e.g. company website) can be linked under the external links section. You can read more on that in the guideline on external links. Edits should be properly referenced, have a look and maybe one of your links can be used as a proper reference. More details on how to cite in Wikipedia can be found here: Citing sources. I have flagged the section you edited, as the text sounds very promotional. It has a consistently positive tone although it is important to write wikipedia articles in neutral point of view. This is one of Wikipedia's core policies. Please carefully observe whether sources are neutral, and are reliable. The T&D article you mentioned was written by David Treichler, an executive at Oncor. Thus it does not qualify as a neutral, and reliable source. NJD-DE (talk) 22:05, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
